From DIR p. 4
State organizations are requested to pass the information to chapter presidents, who are asked to share it with

members. The strength of this network or chain of communication is critical because for many members it is
the only way they receive information about the resources, benefits, and opportunities their DKG membership
offers them.
If you as a member are not receiving information regularly, please explore your chain of communication to
find the break. Ask your chapter president if she is receiving information from her state organization president
or if she is watching the Presidents’ Page videos. If you as a chapter president are not receiving information
from International through your state organization, reach out to your state organization president to be sure she
is receiving emails and Basecamp messages and that she has your correct contact information. And, of course,
if you as a state organization president are not receiving information from us, please let me know directly so I

can bridge that gap.
A world of information is at your fingertips, and I hope you are accessing it. Your International Administrative
Board has been open and honest with you and provided you with many opportunities to be open and honest with
them. Seek out the information on the website, read our blogs, find us on social media, and join us for the Town
Halls taking place over the next few months and for Inside International, which is held on the first Tuesday of
each month. Let’s all commit to taking responsibility for our “link” in the communication chain. Our membership
experiences will be richer and DKG as an organization will be stronger.
